Chapter 549
After a while, the car merged into the traffic.
The crowd disappeared from view.
Recalling the crushed car, Vinson asked, “They smashed your car earlier, right? Who was inside your car?”
“F*ck!” It was only then that Carter remembered Arielle was still being pursued.
He exclaimed, “It’s Arielle. Hurry, let’s go save her!”
Vinson’s heart sank at the news.
Back when he hurried downstairs, he kept praying that no one would be in the car. Even if there was someone in the car, it shouldn’t be Arielle! Alas, his hope was crushed.
“Where did she go?”
“She ran across the road when the light was green and
she escaped into the shopping mall across the street. The mall should be crowded enough for her to shake those men off.” Carter paused, his expression scrunched up guiltily. “I’m sorry. If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have brought her here.”
“You shouldn’t have brought her here in the first place.” Vinson’s face fell as he tamped down his irritation.
Carter said apologetically, “I wanted to see if she could
help save that customer in the hospital. I had no idea this would happen. It’s all my fault, so you can punish me however you like.”
Instead of replying, Vinson made a sharp U-turn and headed for the shopping mall.
Right before they arrived at the mall, Vinson finally spoke. “We shall get to that later. Now, we need to find where she is. You should contact the person in charge of the shopping mall and check the surveillance cameras, and I’ll look around for her. Keep in touch.”
“All right!” Carter agreed.
He had barely finished his words when the car came to a screeching halt before the shopping mall’s west entrance.
At once, a security guard marched over to them.
“You can’t park_” Before he could finish his sentence, he saw two men alighting from the vehicle.
He froze and immediately hung his head low. “Mr. Nightshire.”
This very shopping mall belonged to Nightshire Group.
Vinson slammed the door shut and told the security guard to bring Carter to the control room before striding off hastily.
The security guard didn’t even get to acknowledge his
order as Vinson had already vanished from his sight.
Wow, he’s fast. Has something happened? Why is he in such a hurry?
Carter urged, “Lead the way!”
“All right!” The security guard brought him to the control room without further delay.
Meanwhile, when Arielle ran into the shopping mall, she headed straight for the crowd as she glanced over her shoulder.
There were two men coming for her.
She was dressed in white today, which made her stand out in the crowd.
“That way!” Both men spotted her at once.
Gritting her teeth, Arielle dashed ahead.
After turning a corner, she spotted a clothing store.
It only took her one second to make up her mind. She made a beeline for that store and grabbed an outfit before entering the fitting room.
The fitting room was tiny, and the weather was especially hot today. Arielle was sweating by the time she was done changing into the new clothes.
Her new outfit was a stylish outfit that made her look like a hip-hop musician.
She faced the mirror and tugged off her hairband so her hair tumbled to her shoulders, creating a different vibe about her.
Arielle then exited the fitting room and put on a cap.
Right then, the men ran into the store.
